Would you do it?

I live really close to downtown so I can go collect the OP's personal effects.

glory hole switch no way around it.

For sushi, I hope

If you flip it, someone will deliver a briefcase full of cash to you, but a random person somewhere in the world will die.

A person you... don't even know.

It seems to me that a red switch is a sure fire alert system for @CoachHines3 mom to make a visit.

 

[dosry5]

No response from OP so I'd assume they flipped it.

So you’re assuming it was in fact a glory hole switch like mentioned earlier?

 

[Cyforce]

There's a Steven Wright bit about a similar situation.

Bugs and Daffy, Don’t Touch the Wed Won!

No reason for a switch then. Just hot wire that thing cause it never needs to shut off.

I'd have to switch rooms. My brain would not allow me to concentrate on anything else until I knew what the switch did.

We’re going to find out eventually that this switch wasn’t even hooked up to anything. It’s some psych student’s phd thesis on the simplest ways to drive regular people insane.

It's a kill switch for all the lights.
The hotel got tired of all the calls and visits to the front desk complaining that none of the lights work so they put a label on the switch. Then they made it red and, thus, menacing.

Do it.

OP has not responded, must have ended badly.

Yep. It's from a short film I saw years ago, I think it was called The Black Box. There was a movie called The Box based on the short film, but the short is way better.

When I was in the UK about 10 years ago, my hotel had a slot I had to put my room key into to turn the power on

It is common in many places I've been internationally to have room key slot that turns the power on for the room.

I think I saw a twilight zone (or similar show) episode of it from 80s.

The battle in the OP's brain:

 

[MJ29]

I am really concerned about the OP since there's been no update.

 

[ruxCYtable]

Meh. I have a switch like that in my house and it controls switched outlets, which are annoying, so we leave them on all the time.
